The SACAQM Al_r system is an air quality monitoring, analysis and prediction system. It leverages cutting-edge air quality sensors, an efficient loT network infrastructure, and advanced artificial intelligence to create a scalable, cost-effective solution.
This technology not only captures real-time air quality data but also employs Al to forecast future air quality conditions. By integrating state-of-the-art sensors with loT and Al capabilities, the Intelligent loT Air Quality Monitoring and Prediction System is positioned to address the limitations of existing systems.
CMS and ATLAS have several cooling systems underground and on the surface with manifolds that need to be operated manually. In these manifolds, there are several high-pressure valves which are purely mechanical parts.
The aim of the switch support is to be able to install on each valve a simple switch in order to allow the monitorisation of the valve position from a SCADA platform without the need to be on-site.
Kacper Jama and his team are focusing on the development of prototypes for the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) upgrade of the LHCb experiment. For this project, many parts have been made in different laboratories, and some of them have been made here at ldeaSquare, such as the Light Guide (LG).
The box, called "LHC Vlead Tester", will be used to test power converters which supply current to superconducting magnets.
Because superconducting magnets are cooled to cryogenic temperatures there is a device called "current lead" that enables the connection of room-temperature conductors to cryogenic conductors. These current leads are critical devices, therefore the voltage across them is monitored by the power converter which will shut down if a certain voltage threshold is reached.
The LHC tunnel is a highly radioactive environment during the operation of the machine.
Four thousand Beam Loss Monitors (BLMs) are placed along the magnets to ensure no radiation escape. It is essential to verify the proper operation of each of these BLMs before operation to ensure safety.
The latest TE-CRG-IC radiation campaign took place during August-September 2023, in CHARM (CERN High energy AcceleRator Mixed field/facility).
Automated tests were running for three weeks, every three hours, sending and receiving signals from the radiated components.
